Improved Red Valentine. Long Yellow Six Weeks. BEANS—DWARF, BUSH OR SNAP. Bohne, Ger.; Haricot, Fr.; Frijorenano, Sp. 1 QUART TO 100 FEET OF DRILL, 3 BUSHELS TO AN ACRE. Add 15c per quart extra if to be sent by mail. All the varieties of Dwarf, Bush or Snap Beans are tender and will not bear the cold. Plant about the middle of April, if the ground is warm and the season favora- ble, for a succession, and at intervals throughout the season, finishing about the 15th of August.

BEST OF ALI A new red-speckled variety, very early, good cropper and com- pact grower. The pods are flattish round, dark green, very solid and good quality (see cut). V.
